Homemade Bolillos

INGREDIENTS

  • 3.5 cups bread flour (optional: all-purpose)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1.5 tsp yeast
  • 1.5 tsp sugar
  • 1.5 cups warm water
  • 1 tbsp oil (*plus less than a tsp to rub on dough ball prior to rising — see instructions)

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Add all ingredients into stand mixer & kneed for 7 minutes.
  • Lightly flour surface and kneed into a ball.
  • Lightly cover with *additional oil and place into a bowl, covering with a kitchen towel before letting it rise somewhere warm for an hour. See notes!
  • Once your hour rise time is over, punch down dough and divide into 6 pieces.
  • Flatten out and roll into desired football shape. See notes to link for original recipe to get visual guidance on how to fold.The best way I can describe it is to flatten into an oval and slowly fold down from the top until rolled into a football shape, pinching at the edges to make the points.
  • Cover and let them rise for another hour.
  • Once second rise is over, brush with melted butter and score each dough down the middle.
  • Bake at 450 degrees for around 15 minutes (or until golden brown).
  • Brush with butter, if desired.

NOTES

I found this recipe via Tiktok user C’s Kitchen.

I take about 1 tbsp of butter and brush the baked bread with the butter immediately after removed from oven.

Momma-style Bread Machine Rolls

INGREDIENTS

  • 8 oz water
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp powdered milk
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 320 g all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 tsp fast rising yeast

*Additional ingredients: I brush the tops of my baked rolls with butter once out of the oven. Should be about 1 tablespoon of butter, if that. I also sometimes lightly sprinkle flaked Maldon salt on top of my freshly buttered rolls.

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Add all the ingredients EXCEPT for the flour and yeast into the bread machine pan in the order listed.
  • Add in the all-purpose flour.
  • Make a well in the center of the flour and add in your yeast.
  • Once bread machine pan is locked in place, set the bread machine setting to DOUGH.
  • Once the bread machine completes its dough cycle, remove the dough from the bread machine pan onto a lightly floured surface.
  • Divide dough into half, then cut each half into thirds, before cutting each third into halves for a dozen large rolls.
  • Roll each piece into a ball and place onto a greased 9×13 baking pan.
  • Place the rolls in a warm place (*see notes) to rise for about an hour (until doubled in size).
  • Heat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Brush the tops of the freshly baked rolls with butter (and sprinkle tops with flaked Maldon salt, if desired).

NOTES

For my warm place, I heat my own for only 1 minute at 350 degrees (just enough to warm the space), turn off the oven, turn on the oven light, and let my rolls rest in the closed oven for the required hour.
